Review HCC Regente Hotel Barcelona

Page Content

The Regente Hotel Barcelona is located on the crossroads of two of Barcelona's most central and popular streets, Rambla de Catalunya which comes from Plaça Catalunya and Calle Valencia. The building dates from 1913 and has had its stunning art nouveau façade completely restored.

Hotel Facilities

The Regente hotel Barcelona has a bar in keeping with the art nouveau style. There is also an area where a buffet breakfast is served every morning. There is also a spacious sun terrace where you will find a swimming pool. The hotel has Wi-Fi throughout and there is parking available 50 yards from the hotel and a laundry service.

Business Facilities

There are two meeting rooms in the Regente Hotel Barcelona, one which is 35 metres squared and the other 60 metres squared.

Rooms

There are 79 rooms in the Regente which are all modern in design and have air-conditioning and heating, satellite TV, ADSL connection, telephone, mini-bar, and a safe. The rooms are simple, generic and some have their own outdoor terrace.

Hotel Location and Facilities

There is a cash machine right opposite the hotel and a sandwich shop just a few shops up. There is a pharmacy just up in Plaça Universitat and as for a supermarket I recommend Corte Inglés 5 minutes away in Plaça Catalunya. The area in which the hotel is situated is busy and good for shopping. Plaça Catalunya and Las Ramblas are a 15 minute walk away although with all the tempting cafes and shops along the way it will probably take longer. Another street of interest is Passeig de Gràcia which runs parallel to Rambla de Catalunya and has 2 of Gaudí's creations on it, as well as a plethora of designer shops. The nearest metro is Passeig de Gràcia which is a short walk away.

How to travel from the airport to the hotel

Booking your airport transport in advance online

The advanced booking transfers below are independent of the the public transport system. This means if there is a public transport strike these services will continue to operate as normal and you will not be affected by the strike action.

Minibus shared transfer (advanced reservation required)

A shared minibus transfer option is cheaper than the private transfer. You would need to make your way to designated meeting point at the airport.

With a private transfer service the driver will be waiting for you at your arrivals gate. He will have a board or a sign with your name on it so that you can easily identify him. The driver will help you with your bags to the vehicle and then drive you to your hotel.
